In the modern world computers and the Internet are getting more and more popular. Most people think they are very useful in their work and lives.
The first computer was born in 1946. It was very big and it worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller, but they work faster and faster. What can computers do? Computers can do many things.
At the same time, our world is getting smaller and smaller with the Internet. The Internet came into the world about twenty-five years later than computers. It makes our lives easier. If you are far away in America, you can talk to your family on the Internet. If you want to read a good book, but you don't have time to buy it in the bookstore, you can read it on the Internet. You can also read newspaper, do some shopping, play games and make friends on it.
Many students like the Internet so much that they would not like to do anything else. They make friends on the Internet, but they may not see these friends. Some of the students are cheated by (受……的欺骗) the "unreal friends". Because of the Internet, some students can't work hard at their lessons. Many of them can't do as well as before in their studies. A few of them have to leave school.
We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But please remember, “Not all things are good for you.”
In 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher asked them to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up. She poured her heart into her report and expressed her dream of becoming an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an "F" on it. The teacher told her it was a "fairy tale". Jean was completely disappointed. As the years went by, Jean was beaten down by the discouragement. "Girls can't become airline pilots; never have, never will. You're crazy." Finally Jean gave up.
In her senior year of high school, her English teacher was Mrs. Dorothy Slaton, a strict teacher with high standards. One day Mrs. Slaton asked this question, "What will you do in the future?" Jean felt a rush of the old enthusiasm (热情), and with excitement she wrote down the very old dream right away.
The next thing that Mrs. Slaton said changed the course of Jean's life. "I have a little secret for you. You do have unlimited (无限的) abilities and talents. When you leave school, if you don't go for your dream, no one will do it for you. You can have what you want if you try!"
The hurt and fear of years of discouragement disappeared suddenly. Jean felt thrilled and told her teacher about her dream of becoming a pilot. Mrs. Slaton slapped (敲) the desk top, "Then do it!" she said.
So Jean did. It didn't happen overnight. In her l0 years of hard work, even facing all kinds of difficulties, she never gave up her dream. Eventually, Jean Harper became a Boeing 737 captain (机长) of the United Airline Company.
Can plants eat people? Probably not, but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big. And thay can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is Venus Flytrap (捕蝇草) .
Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the pages of a book. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If a fly touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly, so the fly cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly and slowly eats it.
Why do plants do that? Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air, and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesn't have all these important things, especially nitrogen (氮). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need. Let's hope that bigger plants don't get the same idea!

Some etiquette (礼仪) in modern life
Do you often use a cell phone? Do you take the subway to school every day? These items make our modern life easier. But do you know how we should behave properly while using them? The following suggestions might be helpful.
For cell phone users
Keep your voice down when you make a phone call in public. Shouting on the phone may make others feel uncomfortable. And you'd better not use it during an appointment (约会) .
Stop sending messages or playing games with your cell phone at a dinner or a party. It's a good time to communicate (交流( with your family and friends.
Don't make or answer a call while driving. It is not only very dangerous for both you and your passengers but also against the law.
For subway passengers
You are supposed to wait in line while buying tickets and getting on the subway.
You're not allowed to eat, drink or smoke on the subway train. The smell and noise may trouble others. It's our duty to keep the train clean and tidy. Besides, smoking is bad for health.
You can't take pets on the train. As we all know, animals may spread diseases (传播疾病) and get the train dirty.
You'd better not lie across the subway seats even if the train isn't crowded. Offering your seat to someone who needs it is regarded as good manners.
